VICTORIAN COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTRE

New Technical Tour Announced For The National Conference

The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) building is a $AUD1.1 billion purpose-built facility opening in July 2016. It is Australia’s first facility conceived and designed to save lives by connecting the world’s best in cancer research, education, treatment and care. The centre is part of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct. It hosts cancer research, treatment, education and care.

The 13 storey building was completed in June 2016. It is two kilometers from Melbourne’s city centre and facilities include:  

• 160 overnight inpatient cancer beds 

• 110 same-day beds 

• access to a 42-bed capacity intensive care unit 

• a dedicated clinical trials unit  

• more than 25,000 square metres of research space 

• eight operating theatres and two procedure rooms 

• eight radiation therapy bunkers 

• six linear accelerators 

• 47 seminar and meeting room spaces 

• three lecture theatres. 

• Two covered bridges link Peter Mac with The Royal Melbourne Hospital across Grattan Street. These bridges allow patients, visitors and staff to move between the buildings and facilitate access to Royal Melbourne Hospital’s intensive care unit.  

Join us to get a behind the scenes tour of the facility, only available as part of the National Conference registration.
